Screens from new map *another update*
Our beginner map that we have named godspeed is not all beginner anymore ;-) But unfortunately it is giving us a real challenge in bug fixing. However things seem to be moving in the right direction and the preview area is in place as well as most of the other areas. I've updated our forum with some new screens from it and thought I might give you guys a couple of screens as well :-)

If you want to see more visit our forum at http://addicted2.org/dungeon
We hope to be able to release it soon but as it has been a problem map we can't say when. When we began it we thought it would have been released by now and that we would have moved on to some of the unreleased maps that kreedz made.
*New*
Well as we might be on the break of solving the problem with godspeed here are some more screens to give you an idea of what to expect :-)
http://addicted2.org/opt140002.jpg <--- This is the yard where you spawn. Lots of nice practice jumps to learn how to jump. But the more experienced player can also find it useful.
http://addicted2.org/opt140003.jpg <--- The lake area on the way towards the preview area. Some really nice climbing but not all beginner anymore (well er... there are some harder jumps in the yard as well but...) and here you will find a special jump dedicated to one of our testjumpers and anyone else who can make it (Not for the faint hearted or unexperienced player :) ). That jump is not in the picture we want to keep it a secret for now ;-)
http://addicted2.org/opt140007.jpg <--- The tunnel for entering the preview area :-)
http://addicted2.org/opt140014.jpg <--- In the previewarea two sections from gigablockier (which imho will be one of the greatest blockmaps ever). There are 7 sections from gigablockier in the map and it's not even 10% of that map :-)
We really hope to be able to finish the map as soon as possible (still things to do besides that awful bug) cause it will really be great imo.
Well, well Puppy is giving me a hard time that im not giving you the other four that he had taken so here we go updating again :P
http://addicted2.org/opt140016.jpg <--- This is from underwater (hate those jumps but love the room)
http://addicted2.org/opt140020.jpg <--- Now this ladies n gentlemen is serenity. Some rather hard jumps there. Right waRi :-)
http://addicted2.org/opt140024.jpg <--- No more after this :((unless we make some extra stuff if we can find the space)
http://addicted2.org/opt140026.jpg <--- The tunnel to the previewarea from another angle :-)
So there you are all 8 screens he took today :-)
Update 6/10
Well we seem to have that bug under control now and are working on reducing the bsp size by removing textures. So we use the ones we are kind of "stuck with" from the previewarea since we can't change those :-)
http://addicted2.org/godspeed_x_0110000.jpg <--- The new look of the yard where you spawn.
http://addicted2.org/godspeed_x_0110001.jpg <--- A door what could be behind a door like that?
http://addicted2.org/godspeed_x_0110005.jpg <--- Going to the Egypt room where the preview starts.
http://addicted2.org/godspeed_x_0110004.jpg <--- Looking up the stair to the Egypt room.
http://addicted2.org/godspeed_x_0110003.jpg <--- Just a staircase but a nice staircase :-)
Update
We are still working on this *insert foul word of your choise* map. It is not going to win we are going to solve every bug and every thing else that is giving us problems. It will be tested to make sure that the final version is as bug free as it can be. We have taken a screen from the editor to give u an idea of the size of the map (and we still want to add a little bit more and are at the moment optimizing to make room for it :-))

looking nice o.O
looks good, esp. the lighting :)
looks interesting and nice :)
But the 4th screenshot @ your Forum looks a bit weird (esp. the architecture :()
anyway, gj, im looking forward to play it :)
Well might be a bit odd angle on that 4th screen but wanted to get as mutch of the room as possible in the screen ;-) One thing that might be confusing is that there is a way to get back to the previous room in that room so all jumps are not for getting to the next section.
I think u should put ur resolution to atleast 1024x768 when taking screens ; ) na but looks nice, gj
Very nice gd to see there are some quality maps comin out.
Great job man keep it :]
looks awesome...
especially the lighting oO
hehe,great job ;)
<3 the lighting :)

i dont like very dark maps, but the lights are very nice.. gj so far and continue
mh why all peepz are saying good job? Its nothing special to make blocks against a block. its looks like crap and that is atm the standard of the map and that sucks. I know many guys are hating me of my reasons but the map presentation is there to bring feedback for the mapper. And not only saying good job! Its not special and its lame!
So my information 2 u is:
Learn more about mapping then more about architecture and then make your first maps but release them to your friends not puplic cause the first to ten maps getting bad!
Sorry for that feedback but i'm getting angry and angrier from all of the mappers were show us his or her first maps!!!
And the last think is thx in advance to all the peoples who hate me now!

Time to make a list of maps by dEMolite I've liked and/or thought were good:
cg_cupiators.
And that was only because I wanted a rec so I played it lots :(
P.S Shizuka, nice map <3.
It's great that you're trying to pick up where kreedz left off. Big up the oldschool!

So saying "good job" is in your opinion no serious feedback? I do not know what other people think, but if I say "good job", I really appreciate the work of the person, otherwise I would not say it. You cannot expect that everybody write a very long comment with a lot of reasons. In addition, you only see pictures of a new map.. So what is more important than a short text including your statements if you like or dislike the map and why? By the way, only saying good job is of course better than your statement, because you did not judge the new map by Shizuka. And why the hell should we learn more about mapping? It would not change my point of view at all.
p.s. here is my list of maps by yourself that I like:
1. ???
2. ???

Shizuka:
I like your upcoming map, because you have done a great job in setting up the lightning that creates a nice atmosphere, but make sure that your map will not be too dark... I am really looking forward to playing it.

The lightning isn't all done yet still some things to do :-) That darkest room has already been lighter. It wont be dark att all just nice atmosphere :-)
I can't take all the credit for that map it is done by me and SadPuppy. It is SadPuppy who does all the hard work in the editor. I just tell him what is good or not and come up with crazy ideas which he has to build. It is so nice to have somebody build all your ideas and not having to do it yourself :-D My maps would be quite booring cause I draw them using pen an paper (hard to make those jumps ;-))and then send them to Puppy, so he can make them in the editor.

Not the jumpers only the mappers. I only see a not solid brush work and thats not good. A feedback without GJ can anyone! But Good Job is not a feedback for a mapper.
dEMolite i want u to criticize my maps and tell me what im doing wrong cause i like honesty...
I wount listen to all that u have to say but ill probably keep things in mind...
use strafersheaven version 2 thread so we dont get of the topic
[ Edited Sat Sep 23 2006, 02:42AM ]
Sorry Shizuka don't get pissed of by me. i get angry day per day to see a hollow block as a room and in it some jumps.(And the guys where gives feedback said only gj) So i get pissed of.
looks nice dude.. just continue with what ur doing and it'll be just fine, thats for sure!
<3 take ur time
That map l00ks nice. I wanna play it :) so go on :D
